We here at Gamers for Good wanted to take a minute and thank all the organizations and gamers that jumped behind us to support “Quest for Caring 2017”. Putting together a new type of event can be nerve-racking. Will it work? Will they play? Will it be fun? One thing that tends to help an […]

PAX West – We donated $30K Thousand Dollars!!!! I was lucky enough to get invited to not just 1 panel at PAX West but 2. So I got to speak on both busy weekend days Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning (was shocked at numbers that came out so early after so many parties Sat night). […]

Gamers for Good came out strong on the morning of 8/19/2017 at Griffith Park where we participated in an event to help fortify the organizations helping serve the homeless population of Los Angeles. With activities like building hygiene kits, building PB &J’s, making blankets or processing canned food donations, everyone on site was bustling with […]

When extended an invitation to come and experience the Games for Change festival in New York City, it was too hard to pass up. I want to see what/how the “alternate” game space works. This festival is prime time opportunity. I need project and companies to feature on Gamer Charity Hub I had never been […]

GDC 2017 in my mind was going to be so much less stress than 2016 since NO BOOTH! I expected to get to meet so many people at a leisurely pace and take in so many more sessions. Did those things happen? How did my GDC17 unfurl? 2 main topics: learning and networking. Starting with learning, […]

Gamers for Good was excited to help out the Compton Initiative once again this January. They had contacted us ahead of the workdayto see if we were interested in working on a mural this workday. We figured why not try something new so we agreed. We arrived early Sat morning and helped with the setup of […]

There is nothing like the feeling of loading your teens up on Christmas Eve to go serve others. That feeling is magnified when you arrive and are greeted by friends who help reinforce the value of this service. Having our teen daughters serve with us, is critical and holiday service is held in high regard. Operation […]

The Salvation holds so many wonderful events around the LA, so I am always very excited when Gamers for Good gets invited to participate in these very special experiences they provide. This year we gathered up a good size group of gamers and volunteered to help one needy neighborhood prepare for the holiday with toy and […]

When we signed up to volunteer on Thanksgiving, we were a little afraid we would be alone. But never fail we had gamers come out to join us. We signed up months before, and they had asked what we wanted to do, of course, I said whatever is most needed! So we had no idea […]

Sometimes when we arrive at Compton Initiative we already know what our task for the workday is and other we just show up to rally and go with the flow. This workday was one where we just showed up. We got assigned to go paint a mural, so we headed over to the church across […]

While up in Seattle for PAX West, Gamers for Good decided to give back to the community of Seattle. We found an awesome organization Youthcare who serves the homeless youth in the city. Education programs, housing, clothing, and meals. we grabbed some folks from Anxiety Gaming and served up dinner one evening. It was an amazing […]

Helping spread holiday cheer in Downtown LA with the Salvation Army. We helped prepare snacks and treats, got the prizes already, then got to play lots of games with all the children who attended. Great fun was had by all.

Gamers for Goods took to the streets of LA and fundraised and walked our way around the Beverly Hills/West Hollywood area with the others that participated here in Los Angeles to raise funds for AIDS research and treatment around the nation.

The pinnacle to the Gamer for Life project was the launch and signing event. Riot Games was gracious enough to host us and allowed us to take over Bildgewater and turn the visual, audio and gaming experience into one that honored our Muse for the project, Kevin Kanai Griffith (KKG/K2G)

Gamers for Good headed down to Orange County and met up with some OC gamers and headed out to the Incredible Edible Garden at The Great Park to pick fresh food for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

With  our Gamers for Good secured we met in the rain with, lots of Gnomon student who joined us to serve in the Compton community. Shows how a few drops can’t wash the good away!

It’s not often we get the chance to help set up for a formal ball being held under the ENDEAVOUR SHUTTLE!!!! So we jumped on the chance to help contribute towards one of the largest annual fundraisers for the American Heart Association.

We headed out early Sat morning to help set up and run a day camp for Blind kids and their families around the LA area. tThe kids and the families we met that day reminded us we are exactly as able as we think 🙂

This Earth Day, Gamers for Good decided to flex their muscles and put some sweat and labor into our planet. We removed invasive plants, trash, furniture and many other interesting things from the wetlands at the end of the LA River.

Paired up again with a pack of Gnomon students, and lots of LA area gamers for good we went to serve at the LA Food Bank prepping for distribution. I think everyone should have to work at a Foodbank 1 day a year, so you are a better donator to food drives at a minimum. The […]

Gamers from up and down the Southern CA area joined up to help clear, repair and refurbish wheelchairs for distribution to the poor. once in awhile we get to do a service project that means just a little more or is especially connected to those who volunteer, this trip had both a previous UCP wheelchair […]

Thanksgiving is one of the holidays that the taking stock and having gratitude tends to have a lot of folks look to help someone less fortunate. Gamers for Good got to volunteer at a large scale Convention Center-sized “Feast of Sharing” held in Los Angeles.

With several Vets among our ranks, our CoFounder Peet Cooper included Veteran’s Day is one we really feel connected serving other on. We took this opportunity to head up to Los Angels VA facility and serve up lunch for a resident group of vets.

One never truly will ever understand how bad for our planet styrofoam is until you go clean a wetland that filters a river from a metro area. After our service at the Ballona Wetlands, we were all sworn off for foam FOREVER!
